PARIS: Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri has been voted the best French player of the year by France Football magazine. The 23-year-old Nasri wasn't involved in France's World Cup fiasco. Then-coach Raymond Domenech left the midfielder out of the squad that crashed out in the first round in South Africa. France coach Laurent Blanc said Nasri – who finished ahead of Florent Malouda and Hugo Lloris in the voting – is currently the best French player.
